+ 7 My First Comp
First off I had a freakin blast! The downside was I only took 4th. They didn't have enough dudes to fill my weight class so they combined my weight class with the next class up. So I was competing with dudes who were training this event with much heavier weights and then we all had to lift my weight class weights which were lighter. So here is how it all went down. I did 11 reps at 405 for deadlift which was middle of the pack. I did 8 reps with the log at 180lbs for clean and press (had to go back to the ground and clean and press again) which took 2nd, I need to work on keg tossing cause I only got 1 over the 14ft bar which was middle of the pack, I completed the farmer walk of 60 ft with 400lbs in 23.1 seconds which was 2nd place, and lastly I tossed 4 atlas stones at 240lbs over the 44inch bar which was 3rd. As you can see from the pics above, I jacked my hand up on the farmers walk. The handles were axle handles which are about 2 inches around. My grip gave out and peeled my calluses back which still stings this morning. I was riding so high on adrenaline and tren that I didn't feel any pain until hours later. I was able to finish the event with the atlas stones with a decent tape job and the use of sleeves and tacky. This was an awesome feeling and I loved the competition. The fellas there were cool as hell and I am looking forward to my next comp in 3 weeks. Thanks for stopping by.
O.S.

Fuckin Congrats dude! +1
(Nice Pics Too!)
Thanks bro! I have another comp coming up. Weights go up this time. 450 deads and 200 axle press. The other events are the same weight as before. One difference is there is no keg toss this event, but I have a 550 yoke walk. That will be my Achilles heel cause the apparatus wants to shake while on your back making you wobble. If it were a straight bar like a squat ot would be cool, but it comes down where the weights are added. We will see how it all unfolds. Ive only been training strongman for like 6 weeks. LOL
Fantastic ;-) Congrats on competing out of weight class.. Having fun is what it is all about ;-)
Outstanding job brother! Congratulations on your placing! Those are some serious weights you're hefting! The best of luck in your future competitions. +1
Thanks bro. My hand is killing me at the gym. Stupid rehab is preventing me from beast moding it.
RustyhookerGreat job! Good to see a strongman whos still tight/hard looking.
Thanks rusty!
I made weight 24 hrs ahead of time and then carb loaded like a fat kid. LOL I made weight at 214.5 but probably competed at 230ish. I def have more padding than I would like but I have another comp in three weeks and the only weight classes are 231 and up and below. So there is no point in cutting right now, but will lean back out after the comp season.
+1. Good job 4th place.
Thanks Ninja! Next time I want to bring home some hardware!
BigBmajGreat to see people doing shit they love.

Hell of a job. Especially competing against guys in the next weight class! +2
I've watched your progress this last year! Impressive! Kudos from you means a lot. Thanks
thats awesome man! congrats on breaking the ice with a great performance! good luck on your next one brotha
Thanks! I gotta jump up in weight to even compete since the weights for the next comp go up. Hell, this comp was 405 for deads for reps and the next comp is 495. So I gotta train my ass off and buy 4 inch thick soled shoes! You can't train height which fucks me for keg toss and atlas stones. Adapt and overcome right?!
That's right! If you want it take it!
Yes sirrrr! Its already mine. Now I gotta earn it.
ad4eniline and tren. thats fucking awesome bro lol this is sick i love seeing guys doing this strong man shit its fun
Right on bro! I liked it up to when my hand turned into Canadian Bacon! LOL. Nah, It truly was a blast! Would've been better if I would have had a meal provided by "yours truly"! I bet it would be off the chain!
HELL YEAH! Sounds like you killed it pretty good!
I sure gave it 100%. I'm sore as shit today bro! LOL
AnonThat's what's up bra good job ! Shit man you did some real beast shit congrates
Thanks bro! Gotta tren harder! LOL
AnonLol yes sir
Still top five,maybe next time you'll place first,until then,don't give up!
Thanks bro. I just need to train on some of the events like atlas stones and keg toss cause I'm so short I have to figure out how to mechanically adapt to them. Thanks for the encouragement!
